Reproductive safety of Brucella militensis Rev1ΔfbaΔtal (Fba, fructose -biphosphate aldolase; Tal, transaldolase)

Mice (n = 7) were intraperitoneally infected with 107 CFU/mouse of Rev1 or Rev1ΔfbaΔtal on day 8 post-conception and sacrificed at day 18 post-conception. Data corresponds to the averaged individual gestational indicator values obtained for each mouse in the corresponding experimental group. b Fetal Viability: Proportion of viable fetuses at term with respect to the litter size in each mouse. c Pregnancy Index: Proportion of fetuses that reach pregnancy term, whether viable or not, with respect to the Phosphate Buffered Saline (PBS) group. d Gestational Success Index: Proportion of fetuses that reach pregnancy term in a viable status with respect to the PBS group, i.e., Pregnancy Index · Fetal Viability.
